Application filed September To all whom t may concern.'

Be it known thatl, CARLl J. R. AHBNKE, a citizen of the United States,and resident of VVeehaWlren, in the county of Hudson and State of NewJersey, have invented certain new and useful lmprovements in .Braid-Vinding-Card Labels, yof Which vthe following is a specification. A

This invention lrelates in general to cards upon which braid or similararticles of material are ivound, and more especially to a braid cardlabel for indicating the number of the article wound upon the card, itscolor, size, and number of yards, together with the selling pricethereof.

As noW used, braid cards have Written or printed directly thereon ivordsindicating the number of the article, the color, size, and number ofyards of material on the card. `When the material has been removed fromthe card, the card itself is retained so that the merchant may havemeans for learning vshat stock has become exhausted, and consequentlywhat material is needed to supply the stock sold.

The cards noiv used are large in size relative to the material woundthereon, and where a quantity of cards are to be 1retained for referencethey take up considerable room, and cannot be placed in the ordinarytiling cabinets.

T ie main purpose of this invention is to provide a braid card label.for the purpose herein described adapted to be securely attached to abraid card, and to be readily detached therefrom, in part, andconveniently filed, occupying but little space.

lith the foregoing and other objects in vieiv, hereinafter stated, theinvention consists of the novel construction and arrangement of partshereinafter more specifically stated, and illustrated in theaccompanying drawings, wherein is shown a device embodying the structureof the invention in its preferred form, but it is to be understood thatchanges, variations, and modifications thereof may be resorted toWithout departing` from the scope ofthe invention.

ln describing the invention in detail, reference is had to theaccompanying drawings, Which form a part of this specification, whereinlike characters of reference indicate corresponding parts throughout theseveral views, and wherein:

label for braid cards, detached from the card;

Fig. 2 is a plan of the reverse side of the label shown in'Fig. l; i

Fig. 3 isa plan of the label shown in Fig. l vattached in part to thefront of the braid card and in part to' the back of the card; f

Fig. 4 is a sectional plan viewY of thecard and label shown in Fig. 3with a section of the label removed;

Fig. 5 is a plan view of the section removed from the label shown inFig. 4; and Fig. 6 is a transverse section of the label and card takenon the line 6-6 of Fig. 3.

As illustrated in the drawings, the braid card l is of ordinaryconstruction, having the usual cut-away ends 2.

The label is divided by scoring lines 3 into a back section 4C, middlesection 5, and front sectionv, the section 6 being preferably providedWith a tab extension 7 for the purpose of applying thereto a trade-markor emblem 8.

The label is provided with adhesive substance of any suitable kind onthe back of sections l and 6, the intermediate section 5 being free fromsuch adhesive material.

ln applying the label to a braid card, the

`adhesive substance on the back of section el is nioistened, and appliedto the back of the card, and the adhesive material on the back of thesection 6 is also moistened and applied to the front of the card, asshown in Figs. 3 and 6.

The central section 5 on its face is provided with suitable Words orsymbols indicating the number of the article, the size, the color, andthe number of yards o-n the card. Words indicating thatv the centralsection may be cut away from the front andbaek sections and used as amemorandum for reordering, may also be applied to one of the sections.

The Vcentral section 5 which is to be retained as a memorandum, is smallrelative to the card, and when detached from the card as shown in Fig.5, the card may be thrown away and the small section of the labelretained. V

From the foregoing description considered in connection with theaccompanying drawings, the construction, mode of operation, manner ofuse, and the several advantages of the present invention Will belclearly and fully understood.

It will be seen that by the use of the present invention., the necessityof retaining and accumulating a inass of bulky braid cards has beendispensed with, and that instead thereof a small section of the label,lcontaining all the desired information, occupying but little space, andadapted to be conven-y ientl57 arranged in a file cabinet, may besubstituted therefor.

The size and arrangement of the different sections of the label relativeto each other are not essential features of the invention,

' and may be modified if desired.

In the construction herein shown and described, the label is inade inthree sections. While that is the preferred form, I do not desire to belimited! to such construction.

l/Vhat I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

The combination With a braid Winding card comprising a fla-t memberhaving cutaway ends for receiving braid and the like,

of a label comprising outer sections adhesively secured to the card, oneof said sections being secured tol one side of the card and overlappingan edge thereof between the two cut-away ends, the other of saidseetions being secured Wholly on the other side of the card between thecut-away portions at the end of the card, and a removable intermediateportion secured to the tivo outer sections of the label for bearingindicia indieating the contents on the card and positioned adjacent tothe free edge thereof.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as rny invention, I have signedmy naine hereunder.

CARL J. R. AHRNKE.
